The Positives and Negatives of Window Grilles

February 4, 2016

Window
grillesare an often underappreciated piece
of your home’s windows. They give you the flexibility to
meet both contemporary and traditional design needs, and with
the number of styles and colors offered, you can uncover a combination to satisfy
whatever your heart desires.

Positives:

Removable
between-the-glass grilles easily snap in and out so you have
the ability to swap styles whenever you update your
home or change styles or paint.

Regardless of the window grilles you select, there are a handful of color choices to meet
your design requirements.

Grille options are available today with dual or
triple pane insulated glass to provide more energy
efficient options than historical grilles used with
single-pane glass.

Between-the-glass grilles and removeable grilles
are available to make
for a quick cleaning of the glass.

Now
that we’ve read a couple
positives of window grilles, let’s check out the
challenges associated with window grilles.

Negatives:

While there are a host of
designs out there, some homeowners feel that some grille styles can inhibit their
view of the outside world.

Many window grilles are permanent once
installed, limiting design flexibility in the future.

If grilles are bonded permanently to the surface
of the glass that typically cleaned, cleaning can be more of
a challenge.

Replacement windows that showcase
grilles are typically more pricey
than those without grilles.

Whether
you’re moving and need to buy replacement windows or you’re
simply considering them for your current home, window
grilles could be a great accent to your
next set of windows. There are a host of things to ponder, from style to color choice, but with a little help from our team,
